## Can businesses advertise on ChatGPT?

Abdul Osama (عبدول أسامة) says OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, has opened a self-service advertising platform. ChatGPT is an AI assistant that responds to users’ questions. His account describes access at the time he recorded the video; it does not independently establish that every business can sign up today.

> “Social media advertising helps plant an idea. In search, people look for something and find your business.” — Abdul Osama

### Why does he see an opportunity?

Abdul compares the ways an advertiser might reach someone:

| Channel | The distinction he makes |
|---|---|
| Social media ads | Reach people through their interests and introduce an idea. |
| Search ads | Reach people already looking for something. |
| AI ads | Potentially combine knowledge of interests with a direct question. |

He argues that some users trust an AI assistant to suggest suitable options. That makes being present when someone asks about a service appealing to advertisers. This is his view of the opportunity, not a guarantee that ChatGPT will recommend a particular advertiser or present an ad as independent advice.

> “The exciting thing about AI is that it has both.” — Abdul Osama

### What does he say about signup?

Abdul says he opened an account as soon as access became available and tried to set up accounts for businesses he cares about. He mentions the United States, Australia and Canada while discussing company eligibility. He expects the UK to follow and speculates that access may expand more widely after experimentation. His final remark, however, says a company in the United States is required. The video alone therefore does not settle whether companies in the other named countries qualify.

### In numbers

- **48 hours:** roughly how long he said access had been open when he spoke—not a signup deadline or a measure of its current availability.

## What should an advertiser do next?

Check OpenAI’s current signup availability and company eligibility before making plans. Then consider whether customers’ questions about your service make this channel relevant. Do not assume paid placement amounts to an impartial recommendation.

## Questions and answers

### Does Abdul say ChatGPT ads are available?

Yes. He says OpenAI opened ads through a self-service platform. Current availability needs independent verification.

### How are ChatGPT ads different from search or social media ads?

In Abdul’s comparison, social media can use interests, search captures an active query, and AI may bring those signals together.

### Can a company outside the United States sign up?

He mentions Australia and Canada as well as the United States, but ends by saying a US company is required. The video does not resolve that inconsistency.

### Will advertising make ChatGPT recommend my business?

Abdul describes that as an advertiser’s goal, not a guaranteed outcome or a confirmed description of how placements work.
